Fjorton, något överlappande, en meter långa borrkärnor har tagits från mossen Taniente Palet bog på ön Isla de los Estados, belägen i Tierra del Fuego i Argentina. De fjorton borrkärnorna bildar tillsammans en hel sekvens på ungefär 10.90 meter. Borrkärnorna har beskrivits och korrelerats, både visuellt och med hjälp av magnetisk susceptibilitet och glödförlust. Tolv prover har också tagits för ålFourteen somewhat overlapping 1-m cores, forming a total sequence of about 10.90 metres, were retrieved from Taniente Palet bog on Isla de los Estados, Argentina. The cores were described and correlated both visually and by measuring magnetic susceptibility and loss on ignition. Twelve samples were also taken for radiocarbon dating. The results were then interpreted and compared with those from ot

Numerous studies indicate that the frequency of extreme events such as droughts have increased particularly in the 20th century. Droughts are considered among the most costly natural disasters due to their impacts on crop yield, infrastructure, industry, and tourism. This thesis investigates historical global trends and patterns of droughts and drying areas. A satellite-based (model independent) c

This report contains a study of the effects of a special connection in the side of hollow core concrete elements. The connection is today used when the joists are supposed to contribute to the global stability. The study is based on the question of how the connections influence the deformation and the loadbearing capacity of the hollow core concrete elements. This study is made for the two smalles

When making a long-term investment investors need to be able to ensure a certain degree of legal and financial predictability. Since the investment is subject to the jurisdiction of the host state, investment agreements between the host state and the investor are commonly used. Such investment agreements may include stabilisation clauses, ensuring that arbitrary changes in law do not apply to the

The aim of this study was to examine how a budget-led practice affects middle managers with budget responsibility in the Swedish public social services to do their jobs. Based on five interviews, using middle managers in five different social fields, the main results show that the financial aspect in the public social services becomes an issue in the middle mangers work-tasks. Three main tasks wer

INTRODUCTION In the last years a lot of researches about source separation have been realized, like extraction of a signal of interest (vocal recognition application), identification of which source gives which sound (motor engine applications) or noise source characterization (environmental application). Most of these techniques for sound source estimation use the signal-subspace approach, where

Syftet med denna framställning är att utreda och analysera säljarens ansvar vid informationsgivning till potentiella köpare i samband med förhandlade företagsöverlåtelser. Säljaren vill med sin information till köparen få målbolaget att framstå som så attraktivt som möjligt, han vill med andra ord göra en så god affär som möjligt inom de ramar som lagen ställer upp. Huvudfrågan som uppsatsen sökerThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate and analyze vendor's liability for disclosure of information to potential purchasers of unlisted shares. The seller wants the target company to appear as attractive as possible; in other words he wants to make the most favorable deal possible within the limits of the law. The main question in this thesis is to analyze what information and circumstan

For a few years’ time, there have been those who say that American power is declining relatively to its counterparts on the major power arena. According to Power Cycle Theory the probability of major war is highest when a major power is close to a critical point. In this paper I am testing the proposition made by the power cycle theory, that the probability of a major war is higher in a critical p

Several evacuation models exist in the market. It is an issue for both the user and developer to evaluate the ease of use and the quality of the model results. Verification is the process of determining that the results of a calculation method match with the developer's conceptual modelling representation expectations, i.e., the modelling implementation is accurate. Different testing procedure

This thesis addresses teachers' perspectives on Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in their teaching in upper secondary mathematics in the Faroe Islands. The aim is to investigate to what extent teachers view CAS as a pragmatic calculating tool or as a contribution to mathematical learning and in addition how they see CAS affecting students’ modelling and representational skills. Eight mathematics

Though established as a movement and recognised as artistic form, light art remains elusive and somewhat enigmatic in its definitions and categorisations. This thesis aims to contribute to the current discourse on light art by exploring the application of objecthood and embodied simulation whilst acknowledging the contextual, three-dimensional, spectacular, and anti-art qualities of the art form.

Bostadsrätt är en av de vanligaste boendeformerna i Sverige. Det finns närmare 30 000 aktiva bostadsrättsföreningar och ungefär en miljon bostadsrätter. Under det senaste decenniet har priserna på bostadsrätter tredubblats och många nybyggnationsprojekt har inletts. Att köpa en bostad är för många en av de viktigaste investeringarna i personens liv, inte bara för att det är en stor ekonomisk affärCooperative apartments are one of the most common forms of housing in Sweden. There are closer to 30,000 active tenant owners’ associations and approximately one million cooperative apartments. In the last decade the price of a cooperative apartment has tripled, and many new construction projects have been launched. To buy a home is often one of the most important investments in a person’s life, n

Under de senaste åren har kontorsmarknaden varit under förändring, framför allt som en effekt av Covid-19-pandemin och teknisk innovation. Detta har påverkat hur kontorslokaler används och inneburit ett ökat utbud av fastighetsprodukter. Ett av de beslut som organisationer behöver ta är om de ska äga eller hyra sina lokaler, vilket är ett beslut styrt av flera parametrar. Det rätta beslutet för enIn recent years, the office market has been changing, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic and technological innovation. This has impacted how office space is used and has led to an increase in the range of available real estate products. One of the decisions organizations need to make is whether to own or lease their space, which is a decision driven by several parameters. The right decision for a

The purpose of this study was to analyze and interpret how parents react after learning that their child was deceased, and the process that parents employed in dealing with this bereavement. This study also focused on the parents’ perceived ‘treatment’ received from relatives, friends and professionals. A qualitative study was conducted using interviews with seven parents who had suffered bereavem

There are multiple dimensions pertaining to the sustainability of the public pension systems. The old PAYG DB schemes were typically more focused on income adequacy than financial sustainability. The current public pension systems of Austria, Germany, Finland and Sweden are the result of recent reforms undertaken in response to a universal phenomenon. The aging of the population promised to put a

For many years, blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease seemed unattainable, but recent results have shown that they could become a reality. Convincing data generated with new high-sensitivity assays have emerged with remarkable consistency across different cohorts, but also independent of the precise analytical method used. Concentrations in blood of amyloid and phosphorylated tau proteins

Juvenile songbirds rely on an endogenous program, encoding direction, distance, fueling, and timing of migration. Migratory distance is species-specific, expressed as a period of migratory restlessness, for which the length is correlated with distance, while fueling is modified to meet anticipated flight distances controlled by geomagnetic cues and amount of day-light available for foraging. How d

Background: A decline in episodic memory is one of the earliest cognitive characteristics of Alzheimer disease and memory tests are heavily featured in cognitive composite endpoints that are used to demonstrate treatment efficacy. Assessments of episodic memory can take many forms including free recall, associate learning, and paragraph or story recall. Plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer disease are n
